number freaks

today is 11/12/13 if you're in one of those countries with the silly month/day/year format that nearly nobody uses but you're emotionally attached to or jus or just 'murica, yeah.

whatever.

i am conversant in both date formats and also don't pitch a hissy fit if you write "honour" or "colour" or "programme".

but any excuse for a festival, eh? today is a good reason to read dates in m/d/y format, because 11/12/13!!!

hello! how cool is that?

so today i am going to celebrate by making bread pudding - ok, i make a lot of bread pudding anyway this time of year, plus it is one of my favorite things to have for second breakfast.

yes, i eat second breakfast in my house. it has nothing to do with hobbits and everything to do with having eaten a light first breakfast at around 0400, so i simply do not last until noon without an intermediary meal.

anyway, i'm going to make bread pudding.

and then later i am going to make coconut rice pudding with mango, because i have a ripe mango.

i loves me some pudding.

so THAT'S what i'm doing to celebrate 11/12/13, and i will be making my official observance at 14:15, because.

11/12/13 14:15

i may die from delight.

you'll get another chance next year on 12/13/14, but after that you're done for another 987 years.
